A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME AND SPACE TO ENCOUNTER MUSTANGS,
THE WILD SUCCESSORS OF AMERICA’s FIRST HORSES.

These iconic American horses opened up routes through a continent and conquered its plains and unspoiled heart. Today, these untamed horses are fighting for their freedom and even their very survival in the wide open spaces of the American West. But who is aware that these present-day Mustangs are first and foremost the guardians of an unheralded heritage? That of the horses of the New World. This is an epic story, nearly 500 years old, and we have chosen to tell it through an exceptional journey, akin to that taken by the horses themselves.
